Description
Fabulous MS66 1857 Flying Eagle Cent
1857 1C MS66 PCGS. Ex: Larry Shapiro. The 1857 Flying Eagle cent, the focal point of a Mint redemption program for large cents, was the first issue of the denomination to have an eight-figure mintage. The small-size cents' novelty also led to them being saved in quantity, though today, more than 150 years after they were struck, Gem and better examples are hard to come by. This MS66 survivor is vibrantly lustrous and attentively struck. Carefully preserved surfaces exhibit peach and mahogany shadings. A fantastic representative for the type enthusiast or the date collector who treats the Flying Eagle cents as a supplement to the subsequent Indian cent design. Population: 15 in 66, 0 finer (3/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
